Ubisoft and Cartoon Network's Adult Swim are joining forces to provide a free downloadable music album to gamers. While this sounds interesting in its own right, the project ("African Swim") becomes even more intriguing because the album features South African musicians exclusively.

Ubisoft's involvement is part of its marketing campaign for Far Cry 2, which takes place in a fictional region of the African continent as players work to take down an arms dealer known as "The Jackal." Aside from being able to getting to experience music from artists like Jozi, Gumshev and Maggz, players can actually view some behind-the-scenes footage from the game and download a demo.

Meanwhile, Far Cry 2 is set to be released tomorrow, October 21. Frank's initial experience with the game left him a bit underwhelmed back in August, though initial reviewsindicate that the game is better than what he got to play through at X'08.
